Eliminating "sticking points" on heavy lifts

This workout was pushpresses:3 sets of 3 reps with 70LB (L&R),then 2 sets of 2 reps with 88LB (L&R,then heavy partial lifts with 106LB 3 sets of 1 rep (L&R.An Iron MInd #1 Gripper was used in the other hand to enhance muscle recruitment.Both Diesel Crew & Jeff Martone emphasize this strategy, and it works great!Next, I went to a 25LB kettlbell with a 75LB FlexBand attached for 3 sets of 1 rep (L&R) and finished with 25 pushups to help stabilize the levels of testerone & growth hormone. I learned that from Mike Mahler, and it really helps you get stronger!
